Is anyone else buying and trying protein drinks, mixes etc pre-surgery?

I buy this on Amazon. It's good. Not sweet.

I didn’t try a lot before. But now I love proteinmilkshakebar. They have some great flavors.

I resently bought some Isopure creamy vanilla powder from GNC due to the fact that my stomach started to reject the Premier Protein shakes. In the beginning they were fine but by wk 4 they started to make me feel kinda sick! I tried Pea unflavored Protein Powder, mixing it with my hot cereals or scrambled eggs but that didnt work either! Finally I bought a small bag of the isopure mixed it with my flavored water & havent had any problems with it yet! Yeeh[emoji3]. So now I ordered more in a different flavor to see if it will still help me get my Protein in for the day & wont make me sick!

Oh yes, this isopure has 50g of 100% whey isolate protein with plenty of bcaa which is good since my restictions on exercise has been lifted . so I'll be doing a bit more weight lifting to firm up my skin. But be careful because it has 210 calories per scoop! So I split my doses in half. I before the gym & the other when i get home!

I've tried nectar Protein, its a powder you mix with Water, and Unjury Soup mix. The unjury has 21 grams of protein per serving I don't remember the other one but it is high also. These are both good of you are lactose intolerant

I am in school so I am trying to utilize canned foods and things I can preamble and eat when needed. I have tried the B.B. wild salmon, I’m not a salmon fan but this was good. I also eat the canned chicken breast, I don’t know if I can eat it blended but I guess I will have to try for the purée stage. I want to make veggie style baby food to eat during the purée stage, I have been looking up recipes for that.
What I am really curious about is the broth stage. Are we supposed to use bullion cubes in boiled Water or something else? I was thinking about making my own but I wasn’t sure. I’m trying to keep my salt intake down and I worry the bullion cubes might have a lot in them.

Unjury makes a great chicken broth flavored mix with 21 grams of Protein. It comes already seasoned, you just mix it with hot water. Their unflavored mix is also a life saver!! You can go to their website and get individual packages to try before you buy a whole big container.

I drank the Isopure everyday when I was on the liquid diet. During the soft stage enjoyed bariatricpal's chocolate Protein pudding. Just a packet I added fairlife milk too and gave me tons of protein. Now that I'm about a month post op I drink one Atkins mocha latte shake as a replacement for morning coffee (which I can get on Amazon's subscribe & save which makes it affordable).
As far as trying different Proteins, Quest has sample single packs you can buy from their website. I picked one or two each and had them sent to my house and I think they were about $2 each. Plus Quest does protein chips and Protein Bars which are tasty and worth a look. AND later when you are having cravings their Cheat Clean cookbook has tons of ideas for high protein amd low sugar options. Best of luck!

Don't use bullion. I bought boxed Bone Broth. chicken and Beef. Organic. You can find in most large supermarkets. But stay away from bullion. WAY too much salt.

I have been reading up on this and decided to try making my own bone broth. The thought of drinking salty bullion grossed me out, so glad that I didn’t do that thanks for the heads up. [emoji1360]

I can't even imagine drinking bullion!! Bone broth is not hard to make, and soooooo much better for you than bullion! Glad you asked about this! Good luck!
